"Effortless Data Handling with Explorer Eclipse"

4.5/5

What do you like best about Explorer Eclipse?

I like how reporting is easy to use and how data is easy to export and import with Explorer Eclipse. I appreciate the amount of data you can pull from Explorer Eclipse. The Record of Employment functionality also works especially well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explorer Eclipse?

I think the ease of reviewing data entry items on the paystubs could be better. It would be nice to be able to review the paystubs as data is being entered so we can see the changes live. Also, it would be nice to be able to delete all the Standard Earnings and Deductions at one time, rather than one by one. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Powerful Reporting, But Outdated Interface Hampers Usability"

1.5/5

What do you like best about Explorer Eclipse?

It is a powerful platform that provides detailed reporting and very granular cost control. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explorer Eclipse?

The interface is horrendously dated and the UX is painful to use, having to utilize multiple clicks to achieve even the most basic of tasks. The use of screen real estate is particularly awful as you will be trying to read a tiny window on a massive screen that can only be expanded by manually dragging it out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience, Graham. We’re glad to hear that there are some positives in your experience using Eclipse on the project management side, especially when it comes to detailed reporting, cost control, and managing budgets and invoices for your projects.

We'd also like to acknowledge your comments regarding the user experience. Over the past several years we have released several versions and have made significant strides to improve both data entry and reporting to be more user friendly, efficient, and intuitive. These improvements are part of our continued focus on making Eclipse easier to navigate while still delivering the depth and power our customers rely on.

Customer feedback like yours is essential in helping us continue to refine and enhance the platform. Thank you again for sharing your perspective and for being an Eclipse user.

"Efficient for Job Costing, Needs Better Data Export"

4/5

What do you like best about Explorer Eclipse?

I like the excel uplink feature in Explorer Eclipse. Most of our backup documents and records are in Excel, and the uplink provides an easier way to migrate data from local to Eclipse, which is really time-saving. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explorer Eclipse?

I find it hard to download specific data frames, and the export Excel format being Excel 2003 is annoying. After downloading, I need to re-format before doing any analysis. Additionally, while the initial setup was easy, migrating was painful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Explorer Eclipse"

5/5

What do you like best about Explorer Eclipse?

I love how integrated this system is. The way it connects many of our departments from, our Accounting team with our Project Managers, Purchasing Manager, we are able to share key information quickly and efficiently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explorer Eclipse?

Even though the help center is fast and efficient to get back to us, sometimes having the ability to reach out by phone to connect with someone would be helpful instead of having to create and submit a written ticket for any issue that comes up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thanks so much for your review. We're really glad to hear that Eclipse is helping your teams stay connected and work more efficiently across departments. We love hearing that the integration between Accounting, Project Management, and Purchasing is making a difference in how you share information.

We also appreciate your note about support. While we’re happy to hear the help center has been quick to respond, we totally understand that sometimes it’s easier to just talk to someone directly. We've passed that feedback along to our team as we continue looking at ways to improve the support experience.

It’s great to hear the upgrades to your PO system have been working well for you too. Thanks again for sharing your experience with using the platform.

"very robust program!"

5/5

What do you like best about Explorer Eclipse?

Explorer has nearly limitless possibilities for reporting and built in functionality. The different modules ( project management, payroll, analytics) work really well together and can provide some valuable information. Dashboard provide information quickly and can be shared with co-workers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explorer Eclipse?

There are so many ways to set up payroll items and project management that it can easily become overwhelming. I have yet to be able to set up anything payroll related on my own. I regularly have to schedule a training session. The training staff are excellent, and very informed, it would just be nice to have a standard set up so that the instructions on the Explorer University online guides were more helpful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Explorer Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Explorer provides a centralized system where all our information can be stored, linked and accessed. We can properly job cost our employees and track equipment and hours and accurately assign a running cost. We get a true understanding of how much our jobs are making and can easily identify less productive crews or equipment.

Additionally, the level of details and automation available for reoccurring journal entries, depreciation schedules and payroll submissions makes the life of management easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Thank you for the thoughtful review, Carly! We're really pleased to hear that the reporting, dashboards, and module integrations are delivering value and helping your company get a clear picture of project performance and profitability.

We appreciate your honest feedback about the setup experience, particularly around payroll. We understand that payroll setup can be complex, and while Eclipse aims to streamline this as much as possible, we recognize there is room to improve. Your suggestions about standardized configurations and clearer educational resources are especially valuable, and we have shared them with our team as we continue working to make setup and self-service more intuitive.

We're glad to hear our training team has been a strong resource for you, and we’ll keep working to make sure that support is paired with even more accessible tools and documentation.

Thanks again for sharing your experience using the software!

"Purpose-Built Software That Could Use a Modern Touch"

4/5

What do you like best about Explorer Eclipse?

Explorer Eclipse is tailored specifically for construction, which makes it far more relevant than generic accounting or ERP systems. The job costing functionality is solid, and once properly configured, it gives you great control and visibility over projects. The integration between cost codes, GL, and job reports helps streamline workflows. Support is generally responsive and knowledgeable, which is important when dealing with industry-specific needs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Explorer Eclipse?

The interface can feel dated and unintuitive, especially for new users. Customization often requires consultant involvement, and some tasks that should be simple—like report generation or correcting entries—can be overly complex. There’s also a learning curve due to a lack of user-friendly documentation or training materials. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Explorer Eclipse solving and how is that benefiting you?

Explorer Eclipse helps solve the complexity of managing job costing, payroll, billing, and general accounting all within a construction-specific framework. In our industry, it's critical to track labor, equipment, materials, and subcontractors accurately across multiple jobs—and Eclipse brings all of that under one system.

The biggest benefit is having real-time visibility into job performance. We’re able to monitor budget vs. actuals, manage change orders, and generate reports that actually reflect what's happening in the field. Payroll integration is also a huge plus—it handles union and certified payroll requirements well, which saves us a lot of time and compliance headaches. Overall, it's improved accuracy, reduced manual data entry, and helped us make more informed decisions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have also shared your input with our product and training teams to help guide future improvements.

Thanks again for taking the time to share your experience. If you'd ever like to chat about ways to streamline anything further, your Explorer Account Manager would be able to help facilitate this.
